The Nexus

Charity Dinner Atya sighs, and gives the aides a tired smile. "What conversation? You just claimed the prize and left." She has no interest in getting them in trouble, nor in tipping off Bradanach that she knows anything about him. Well, this is certainly not going to be any fun. Unless h...

[Khafir's Lab] "I'm not an empath either, but it's not very hard to ask how someone's doing," Reinholdt says. You don't need some super power to figure people out. "Sounds lonely." Professional detachment is a horrible approach in Rein's opinion. Get in there, get emotional, get...

[Shark to Meet You] Oooh, fascinating. What an unusual coloration. Maria pulls out her notebook to start to sketch the shark when another bonk on the door reminds her that perhaps sketching during the middle of an aquatic ambush was ill advised. Ah well. There should be something around for this. T...

[Temperance Teahouse] Ilpholin shrugs a little. "It wouldn't be particularly unusual for a nymph to have an exotic pet." After all, she already keeps a giant dire spider and a swarm of nanobots around. And it is pretty likely the spear will be locked up when not in Jaryło's possession, ma...

[Shark to Meet You] There's a loud thud as one of the windows of the windows near the shuttlepods is impacted by the snout of a great white shark. Annoyed the shark backs off and swims away. And after a few minutes it instead collides with the docking bay doors. Repeatedly. [Shark to Meet You] In o...

[Khafir's Lab] "And... who would press him into such a service, exactly? There are easier ways to go undercover than to entirely changing your own neurochemistry, that is... known, right?" Reinholdt isn't entirely certain that it is known. Sounds like people using technology for fancy sho...

[Khafir's Lab] Reinholdt breaks into a small sweat when Khafir brings up his reputation. The heat in here certainly didn't help. Did she know he intended to steal liberate the cats? That sometimes he thinks things would have been better off if he let Shepherd finish the multi-verse off? That he- Oh...

[Around the World in Eighty Posts] Reinholdt touches Sylvia slightly from behind, kissing her neck one last time after having finished getting dressed himself. These clothes are surprisingly fast to put on compared to what he usually wears. He might have to wear them more often if they're gonna be ...

[Khafir's Lab] Reinholdt can't say he was expecting this. He can't say he's particularly disappointed with the results though. Eyes stay closely focused on Khafir as she makes her way past, back turned to him. She says words and they are probably important somehow. Somewhere. Right. Don't feed the ...

Reinholdt often forgets how different the place is Ambrosia came from. Town criers! Ironically, the best job to give to a dragon. They could just fly overhead and bellow the news out. He nods to her as she heads off for a medkit. "Thank you." His attention returns to Calm Reed, his previou...

[Temperance Teahouse] Ilpholin gives it a little thought before shaking her head. "If I go undercover like that and get close enough, I would simply go for the spear myself and escape with it then and there. We wouldn't need any extra steps at all. No, I think it's better if we just go togethe...

[Charity Dinner] "Obviously. I wanted to know what she's the goddess of . I've met a few goddesses in my lifetime already. But hey, if you're uncomfortable and concerned that she can't hold up..." They all tended to be quite different from each other, except for the ego they have in their...

[Khafir's Lab] That's... a lot. Seems excessive. Reinholdt will be sure to give the kitty extra headpats and scritches and pets and love while he examines the lock. Ugh. No time to pick it right now. He'll have to come back and do it later. His loving pets are withdrawn so that he can pull out his ...

[Temperance Teahouse] Ilpholin watches Spako re-emerge with a newfound conviction that displays his confidence. And if all his words speak true, his incredible capability as well. Few could boast being a dragonslayer. Well many could boast, but his words did not seem hollow in that moment. Spako al...

[Charity Dinner] "Sure," Reinholdt says with a blush and a pull at his collar. "But different types of magic." Rein's really good at the one magic trick he can do and terrible at all the rest. "Raffle's over so I don't think anyone would mind or notice if we took a look now...

[Temperance Teahouse] "Oh last phase is simply killing or banishing the King. Either directly at his swamp lair or through some convoluted means of drawing him out into a trap. I simply call it that because aside from the goal, the specific approach is nebulous. I would honestly be surprised i...

[Charity Dinner] Reinholdt frowns at Braon. "I assure you, Atya doesn't think that far ahead." It was unlikely Atya would care enough to put an anti-cheat mechanism on the raffle anyways. So long as people were paying money into the charities, it seemed unimportant. Braon in this situatio...

[Khafir's Lab] Reinholdt knew Khafir was cold. Callous. But cruel? He had no idea she was a horrid monster. Does Cessie know about these poor caged cats? That Vigil was condoning slavery and unfair imprisonment? Truly debased! These cats should be free to roam the island at their leisure! ... This ...

[Teahouse Temperance] Ilpholin frowns a little at Ambrosia but nods. "I don't expect that animosity to be perfectly shared with the King's minions. Many have complicated relationships with him. But I couldn't say for certain and it's probably not worth the risk at this time, so I suppose we ca...

[Church of Venus] Reinholdt nods slightly towards Ambrosia. It wouldn't be terrible to split up here and check different things out. Especially as it looks like he's going to be very busy very shortly. For he doesn't make an attempt to hide or move when the sermon ends, simply nodding as he gets on...

[Khafir's Lab] Twas a simple and straightforward visit. Reinholdt had some very specific business to attend to, some thing he's been putting off and needed to finally follow up on. He isn't much for phone calls if he can help it. He's always believed in two things. Talking to someone face to face a...

[Charity Dinner] Reinholdt can only clock Braon's agitation. He notes the men approaching the prize table but as he's moving away from it now, can't confirm which prize they're picking up. His attention's too focused on Braon right now anyways. Taking up her cue, he'll head towards the semi-isolate...

[Charity Dinner] "You too," Reinholdt replies as Atya heads up on stage. He can't say he pays too much attention to what she says up there. He's sure she's handling it well. His attention stays on the crowd now, gauging their reactions to the news, to Atya, to updates that come in. A chec...

[Temperance Teahouse] Ilpholin takes the case, turning it over in her hands. "Certainly, thank you. I'll take a look at it." On a secure, off network system outside her home. Maybe at the vintage blusterblock she's heard about. "Jaryło will be keeping the spear close, that's all but ...

[Temperance Teahouse] "I'm aware of the story," Ilpholin states with a slight nod. The purpose wasn't particularly subtle for those in the know. "And I already have plans in motion for Jane Everywoman to make an appearance when facing the King himself. That's something for after the ...

[Charity Dinner] "Isn't it?" Rein replies with a heavy smile. He remembers that night pretty clearly. They'll find out for sure tomorrow he supposes. Before he can respond, news breaks and he looks at the reptilian woman carefully before peering over Atya's shoulder at the headline. He re...

[Temperance Teahouse] "That right? Small world." The nymph waves down a waitress to get their teas. As she wanders back to the counter, Ilpholin returns her attention to the two before them. "The mission is simple enough. Retrieve the Spear of Jarowit. I believe there are three reaso...

[Charity Dinner] "I suppose you'll just have to add murder to your rap sheet, hmm?" Reinholdt takes Atya's hand and stands up as well. He takes a moment to ensures his suit is properly uncreased and unwrinkled. He nods slightly as Braon goes on ahead and lingers behind with Atya. When the...

[Temperance Teahouse] "Ilpholin Xar'cha," the nymph replies pleasantly. "The pleasure's all mine." She inclines her head politely to each of them and does not attempt to initiate a hand shake, never being one for that tradition. Her emerald gaze wander the partially purple-haire...

[Charity Dinner] "Good luck with that. I believe the corset and house tour are the two most fought over items. Those tickets were selling quite fast." Maybe if Rein wins the corset, he could offer it to Braon. Though he'd rather keep it for himself to... find certain uses for. Though he's...
